Well, it is because he is an atheist Marxist, and doesn’t believe in God. I am reading his (ostensible) book “Dreams From My Father” (I would rather poke my eyes out with sharpened pencils) and in it some church organizers ask him if he is religious because he didn’t go to church, and he responds “Well...”
But before he can finish his sentence they cut him off and go on to something else.
I don’t go to church either, but I DO believe in God. If someone were to ask ME point blank, I wouldn’t say
“Well...”
He doesn’t, it is clear enough.
I think it’s several things - one, he’s a coward and doesn’t want to offend the militant anti-religious wing of his base, and two, he most likely is at least agnostic, if not atheist, which is ironic since he’s a muslim sympathizer, a religion that puts ‘allah’ at the top of everything one says or does.
I like to call it “Dreams from Bill Ayers’ Father”.
